Woman charged with forgery, resisting officers

ASHEVILLE - Authorities conducted a traffic stop Thursday and say a woman previously charged with several counts of forgery gave them a false name and birthday during their investigation.

Sarah Dawn Bossert, 22, of Asheville, was placed into custody at the Buncombe County Detention Center in lieu of a $55,000 secured bond.

At the time of Bossert's arrest, deputies found her with used hypodermic needles, plastic baggies with residue and a glass pipe, according to warrants. She was charged with resisting public officers and possession of drug paraphernalia, which are both misdemeanors, warrants state.

Bossert additionally faces eight felony charges each of forgery of instrument and uttering forged endorsements for offenses that authorities say took place in June and July.

On several occasions, Bossert made a check payable to herself by filing the check in the name of another person. Each check was in the amount of about $200.

In April, she was charged with larceny and obtaining property under false pretense, which are felonies, according to arrest warrants.

Warrants state that Bossert stole a Barnett Ghost 410 Crossbow and a Barnett Extreme Crossbow from an Asheville man. The bows have a combined value of $2,100, according to the warrants. Later that day, Bossert went to Alan’s Jewelry and Pawn on Tunnel Road and received $274.50 for the items, the warrants state.

She was scheduled to appear in Buncombe County District Court on Friday.
